    I might be longtime lurker as well.

    I remember the time there was only on cpu maker and no competition, thus everything was expensive.
    Then along did come amd k6-2
    Me and my friends got the k6-2 and started overclocking them getting bigger heat sink and building water cooling from old car parts. Lot's of fun memories there.
    Save the core anyone?
    [/fanboy]

    Hopefully AMD will be back on the competitions again. Prices will go down and it's fun to have multiple choices on builds.

    Took me years to post as well. Think I may have lost my first account as well. But AMD doing well is good for everyone. I have found days of my first real build that I actually bought all the parts new and didn't scavenge. It was a K6-2 400.. Oh the good old days..
